Live actors, a ride, shows and special effects simulate historical dark and bleak times.With its different shows and actors and 500 years of dark history, the Amsterdam Dungeon is certainly a thrilling experience. Laugh and scream at the sight of cackling witches; see, smell, listen and be afraid. Be very afraid. The full cast of professional, theatrical actors play gruesome characters, such as the (not-so) fair judge and the devilish torturer.
